Topaz Labs software can be accessed in Lightroom as an External Editor. To do this, you can simply install our software from the Downloads Page, then restart Lightroom. If you do this, but cannot locate some of your plugins, please note that some of our software can use their own External Editor preset, while others must still use Fusion Express 2 to launch. The full list of products and versions that use each method is found below.

Select TIFF in File Format pull-down menu. Select the Color Space choice and Bit Depth. It is recommended to use 16-bit ProPhoto RGB as your Color Space to best preserve color details from Lightroom. Expand the Preset: menu, and select "Save Current Settings as a New Preset", then name the preset after the plugin you are setting up (Adjust 5, DeNoise 6, Impression 2, etc.)

You will now be able to launch your Topaz Labs plugin, from the Photo → Edit In menu
